Welcome to Litsy!

I don't get why Goodreads recommended this historical fiction book about a European duchess to me because I had read Building a Life Worth Living: a memoir: about the history of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the woman with a suicidal past who created it.

3rd day of Christmas.

Getting some reading done outside while the sun is still shining! Starting this one. I‘m currently in a DBT program so I‘m eager to read the story of the woman who created it!

Great read! Really puts the DBT skills into context when you learn where they come from and how they were created, but the book has more of a memoir story feel than a clinical feel.

Marsha Linehan is a world renowned psychologist and developer of DBT - an incredible psychological and behavioural therapy for individuals with bipolar disorder and suicidal ideation. She is also a suicide survivor herself and recently revealed that she spent a number of torturous years in a mental institute in her youth. To describe this memoir as courageous just doesn‘t seem enough. I‘m in awe of this incredible woman and her work ❤️

Saturday afternoon 📖 🐶 ♥️

Taken earlier this afternoon when I finished this book. Marsha Linehan is brave, smart, and a true leader. She has been to Hell, and she has climbed out of it. Slowly, yet unflinchingly. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is practical and satisfying for therapist and client, and I use the skills she created every week at work with my students. Radical acceptance can be life-changing. Her memoir left me inspired, a feeling I needed today ❤️.

Another #LibraryBookHaul! 💜💜💜

2. Two books: one to forget about what is happening in my country to relax myself: Scrooged silly book, second is part of a reading challenge: An unwanted guest. 3. Thank you @kamoorephoto for tagging me @mabell @Chrissyreadit @Avanders @DaveGreen7777 @JoScho

1. I thought it would be different since I accomplished one of my important goals in life, start a new stage in my life. However, life teaches you that you cannot control everything. Strong experiences in my personal life & in my country, but these experiences help to continue growing as a person, to be stronger, they will teach me how to be more reflective of what life is & who I am. 👇continue

@MoonWitch94 #ThoughtfulThursday 🐺🌕
*The moon already looked magnificent last night!

- I‘m going into 2020 believing that it will be even more transformative than the last; 2019 was hard but it moved me forward, and away from a place of pain and fear
- I didn‘t set a lot of resolutions but my goal again is to have courage, be mindful and present, and be proactive
- Reading tagged book: Marsha Linehan‘s DBT teachings saved my life

This just arrived, and I want to tell everyone out there who has struggled or IS suffering from BPD, suicidal thinking, emotional trauma, or self-harming behaviors, #DBT works.
I took part in one of the studies/DBT trials here at the BRTC in #Seattle, where #MarshaLinehan developed her Dialectical Behavioral Therapy programs, and thanks to the skills I learned, and therapy I received, it SAVED MY LIFE and changed my world.
Thank you, Marsha ❤️
